11、the decline and fall of its cultural identity. NO Providing economic incentives for cultural preservation is unarguably one of the main contributions of tourism. To many tourists, culture and history are their first consideration when choosing a destination. Their mindset has been adopted by many to
12、urism sites and their money has been subsequently used on cultural protection, including the maintenance of key historical sites. Tourism can make an indigenous culture known to the world and rally support worldwide to protect it. Needless to say, tourism adds value to a scenic resort by serving as
13、a driving force in boosting that places economy.(分数:2.00)_4.People have different expectations of jobs.

15、nguage quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks. YES The merit of going in for a life-time career is obvious. Firstly, working in the same position for a long time can help you become an expert in this area, so you can get familiar with your work from every ang
16、le and accumulate abundant experience. If you stick at one post, you will have the opportunity to know every aspect of the job; as time goes by, you will definitely have a good command of it. Consequently you may become a veteran of the field and earn prestige and respect from others. In addition, m
17、istakes in your routine tasks would be minimized because of your rich experience. Finally, you can establish an extensive social connection relating to the field, which will help you tear down most of the barriers standing in the way of your work. NO Staying in one position for a long time will defi
18、nitely result in boredom. As peoples patience is limited, some, especially the young, may feel that the longer they do the same job, the less interest they may have. In comparison, if one person changes job frequently, he will never be annoyed by this problem. Then lets look at work motivation. If o
19、ne works for the same company for a long time without promotion, he may feel bored and tired of doing the same daily routine. Changing jobs frequently would endow one with the feeling of freshness. Whats more, in view of the fierce competition in the job market, having more working experiences would
20、 definitely be an advantage.(分数:2.00)_5.A popular TV host in China has reportedly invested about $ 740,000 in a project to research, preserve and promote the Hunan provincial dialects. Chinese TV anchors are required to speak Mandarin in their work, but should dialects be allowed on air? Many citize
21、ns embrace the TV programs which use dialects, while some experts hold different views.

22、ded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks. YES Dialect is an important part of local culture, but now many kids dont even know how to speak their local dialects because of the dominant use
23、 of Mandarin around them. It would be a pity if future generations were unable to understand and speak the local dialects that are used by their predecessors. It would be a terrible loss in cultural heritage. The television programs, radio programs and some online programs provide good opportunities
24、 to introduce dialects and promote the popularity of them. Using dialects on air is an excellent way to promote language variety and protect cultural heritage. Besides, in the south of China, dialects are used more widely than Mandarin, and the programs about local peoples daily life are more vivid
25、when presented in local dialects. NO TV and radio broadcasters should take the lead in popularizing Mandarin. As broadcasters, their primary goal is to let themselves be easily understood by all the audience. It can be imagined that if broadcasters can speak dialects as they please, the audience who
26、 do not understand them will be confused. It is also a basic right of the audience around the country to hear Mandarin on TV or radio programs. To require hosts to speak Mandarin is not to oppress dialects, but only to restrict and curb improper and irresponsible use of language. It is unprofessiona
27、l for some hosts to imitate the pronunciation of dialects. Some dialects contain vulgar and improper words and expressions, and unrestricted use of dialects will degrade the honor of public media.(分数:2.00)_6.With more college graduates becoming entrepreneurs, many college students are also wondering

30、 With the fierce competition in the job market, college graduates will find it increasingly difficult to find a job. But the problem may be solved if they choose to set up their own businesses. From the general aspect, the more students start their own businesses, the less stress of employment will
31、be. Starting their own businesses can help students grow up quickly. Students usually have no opportunity to experience much before they enter the society. However, they can make full use of their talent when running companies. You are going to work for what you want. There are many successful examp
32、les about college students who start their own businesses, such as Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. NO The university can prepare students to become more adaptable before they step into society. The courses they learn will equip them with professional knowledge and learning skills. The practical activitie
33、s will provide them with rich work experience and improve their all-around skills. After they spend four years in university, students can cope with the society better. It is unrealistic for a student in his 20 s to start a business. Not everyone can become Bill Gates. Running a company needs firm d
34、etermination, clear mind and the ability to endure hardship. However, not all those who drop out of colleges can meet the above requirements. So following the trend blindly will only bring negative effect on their life and career.(分数:2.00)_专业英语四级(作文)-试卷124答案解析 (总分:12.00,做题时间:90分钟)一、WRITING(总题数:6,分数:

40、owadays, one can travel farther and get acquainted with more people with technological advances.

As the society is developing at a fast pace, people are un
41、der great pressure and suffer from physical affliction in their busy life. As a consequence, many citizens stand up against the hectic pace of life and appeal to people to live in a relaxed manner, which is good for peoples physical and mental health. However, those against slowing down the pace of
42、life believe that the fast rhythm of life can improve working efficiency, prolong leisure time and expand social circle. Personally speaking, I hold the view that people can make decisions by themselves according to their own conditions since either of these two lifestyles has both merits and demeri
43、ts. For one thing, for those who are trying hard to climb the top of the social ladder, they need to keep improving their competitiveness and every minute is too valuable for them to be wasted. For another, the dream-job seekers who are burnt-out on the frenetic pace of life may want to retreat to a
44、 quieter and slower corner of the world. Then they can have time to enjoy nature, food, and communication with people around them. As a conclusion, choose your lifestyle wisely and you can certainly find happiness in your choice.)解析:解析: 本题讨论人们是否应该放慢生活节奏。在具体行文方面,考生首先要总结材料,概述正反双方的观点。然后给出自己的观点:由于两种生活方式
